Old Business:
- Approval of March 4 General MeetingRandi Wilson reviewed the minutes of the last general meeting on March 4th, 2020 for approval. Mary Pat Gannon moved to approve, Sara Ito 2nd. Minutes approved.
- Treasurer’s Report: Treasurer Judy Burger didn’t feel it was appropriate to discuss our finances in the public setting we were in, so she suggested any member who has questions reach out to her individually. Janice asked how the board budgets for tournaments, Sandy clarified that we have all tournament payouts from club fees pre-budgeted and approved at the beginning of each tournament season. Judy said that she can provide this budget to her and any interested member. Fletcher asked if the club does a payout for a hole-in-one, Sandy stated $5 per current member is paid to a hole-in-one, therefore a slight overage needs to be kept for events such as this. Julie Adolf motioned to approve, Randi Wilson 2nd.
New Business:
- Website/Rules: Sandy clarified for the group that we post everything on our website that Sara works hard to keep up for our access.

- Discussion on Net Double Bogey rule: Sandy reminded the group that we are nearing the end of our trial period for implementing the USGAs Net Double Bogey rule for play days, coinciding with the posting rules for member handicaps. Sandy suggested that we have a discussion first to ensure members understand the rule and ensure we all feel it is fair. Julie Adolf motioned to permanently adopt this rule for our club, Mary Pat Gannon 2nd – motion passed and Net Double Bogey will now be a permanent club rule.
